A Guide to Haircuts and Styles

0 comments

     Bad hair-days happen, but having a bad haircut is a harder issue to resolve. No one is happy when they have to wait for their hair to grow out just to have it cut again. But, if you like wearing hats ever day then you have nothing to worry about. However, sometimes the haircut isn’t bad. Sometimes the haircut just doesn’t suit you.

     If you’re ready to try a new hairstyle, finish reading this article and go to a barbershop. Barbers are trained to style men’s hair and use clippers as opposed to scissors. Unisex hair salons typically hire cosmetologists who are trained with scissors. Also, barbershops are lax environments where you can have nice conversations and meet new people. But, before you do, think of a haircut you may want to try out so you know before hand what it will look like on you.

     Different hairstyles compliment different face shapes. This is because haircuts can help accentuate different feature of your face, such as jawlines, foreheads, and cheekbones. Hair texture also plays a role in how to choose the right haircut. Think about it, long hair might look flat on an individual with thin hair. But, someone with wavy hair might look good with long hair because of its extra volume.

     Look below to determine which face shape you have and which hairstyle you should try out.
